Yeah, the stars of this show are the sweet-juicy-tender skinless chicken thighs. I added corn, Bush’s Baked Beans, and a sausage as extras or sides for the family. A really simple and super tasty dish that anyone can prepare that the family or friends will definitely enjoy.
THE GRILLS
KINGSFORD CHARCOAL
I did not use any wood today, I used KINGSFORD Charcoal with Mesquite for the simplicity of things. Works really great, easy to lite, and gives the chicken or any meat a full smoky flavor which just taste totally awesome!
“FLAME ON BABY!”
In today’s grill preparation I used lighter fluid; that is why the flame is so high. I recommend soaking the charcoal only a bit and letting it air dry a couple of minutes before lighting the coals up. PS. do not get to close to the grill while striking the match. Better be safe than sorry.
FOR THE CHICKEN THIGHS
I combined in a large bowl 1 tablespoon of olive oil, with 1/2 teaspoon of fresh ground pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of coarse salt, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon for each chicken thigh. Mixed well and seasoned the chicken thighs by coating both sides. A simple recipe, yet irresistible at the dinner table. Any person that likes eating chicken will be amazed at the great taste of these chicken thighs! That’s all she wrote; to the grill we go!
THE GRILL
Grill the chicken thighs for 15-18 minutes turning over at half time or until the juices run clear over direct medium heat. As for the sausages; do the same not forgetting to turn them over as well.
“SOMETHING IS MISSING HERE!”
No wonder I am 50 pounds overweight! Coming off the grill, anything tastes irresistibly great! Yikes! Been the cook of the house sometimes is not so great for you after all. Well, on the bright side; it is healthier eating grilled food verses fried or breaded foods. “Breaded chicken thighs fried too perfection sounds damn pretty good too…” That’s for a different blog though, after all, what kind of a house chef would I be if all I knew was how to grill? Well, in someone else’s defense, a chef who did not need any frying pans?
This are really good chicken thighs and when cooked as directed, they will be sweet, tender and juicy that people will definitely come back for more!
